Chemical transformation with vinylene carbonate as an emerging synthetic unit has recently attracted considerable attention. This report is a novel conversion pattern with vinylene carbonate, in which such a vibrant reagent unprecedentedly acts as a difunctional coupling partner to complete the C-H annulation of free anilines. From commercially available substrates, this protocol leads to the rapid construction of synthetically versatile 2-methylquinoline derivatives (43 examples) with excellent functionality tolerance.
